How Dragoon C1 defend itself from Physical attacks?

Hi,

I always wandered how Dragoons defend itselfs against Physical attacks.

I always played with focus on Doppel of Two-HandedSword. Thinking about it, everyclass has some good defenses against Physical attacks, for example:

Doppel Two-HandedSword: CrossGuard of Highlander : press button to active the defense.

Fencer / Corsair: Focus on DEX to focus on evasion. Also this classes can use shield as well, swamping weapons or not.

Hoplite: Shield + Finestra + Press C to active block.
Peltasta + Rodelero: Shield + Press C to active block + bonus evasion.

Shinobi, Doppel, Murmillo: depend on the previous classes to gain its defenses, also some already have some defenses too.

Does Finestra work with Two-Handed Spear?? Because I only see block points appearing when the character uses some shield or use some skill that make the character block, like CrossGuard of Highlander C1, that least 5 seconds, but can be spammed using the button of skill.
The Two-Handed Spear when equipped give automatic some block points to the user only by equipping it?

How Dragoon and Two-Handed Spear builds defende itselfs from Physical attacks?

I know that is useless to think about magical defense, magic can’t be blocked, a complete unbalanced PVP thing that may ruined this game, (I know Except for Murmillo that can block magic), but lets not talk about it.

You already have the answer:

But, Two-Handed Spears doesn’t have any block stance like Two Handed Sword. Actually, you can go as a Cata and RUN FAST LIKE WIND as defense,while using your 2h Spear. 8D

Hoplite doesn’t have Shield Guard. Only Pel, Rod and Murm.

Yes, but you can’t feel it much because you get more out of the bonus when equipped with a shield and other block boosting equipment as well as when you have Pel in your build:

As @DieHardLancer and @BryanLoeher pointed out, Goon is a damage-centric class but you can improve its defensive abilities by picking circles from defensive classes like Pel.

Restrain helps Goon skills become pseudo-CCs by proccing stuns with multihits. This is why Sw3 Cata3 Goon2 is a popular PVP build. You can counter enemies rushing in (usually melee classes) by charging your Dragontooth (with Restrain buff on).

Of course, if you can hit people first with Dethrone and they’re not dead, they’re likely to be bound to the ground and unable to move around for 6? seconds.

You can see how I try to survive in TBL on my gameplay videos here:

If you add a rank of peltasta and go full dex you have access to a full array of tools to deal with physical damage like block, increased evasion, increased defense. Restrain is also good to stun enemies while it is active.
